Created to carry the message of recovery to all addicts. Whether the addiction is alcohol, drugs, food or any other addiction the program of recovery is the same. I am a recovering alcoholic of over twenty years, a day at a time of course and I believe my primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve recovery.

The sun rose and set today in twelve hours.We plucked golden pears from arching branches.Climbing a thousand steps to a rustic temple,We made our offerings to the gods.At nightfall, we sat in warm companionship.A crescent moon joined our circle.Dipping water from the silver-braided stream,We set it bubbling in an earthenware pot.It’s not easy to brew good tea,But this teapot has a venerable history:A scholar once pawned all his books for it.Now it imparts the flavor of antiquity.

Autumn equinox is the time to reflect upon life. If we have enjoyed a bountiful harvest, we express our thanks. If the year has been difficult so far, then we are happy for what we do have and resolve to do better once the chance comes. The appreciation of life does not require wealth or plenty. It requires only gratitude for the beauty of the world.
